[QUOTE="helli217, post: 14454048, member: 158574"] I try I try to be mature on the forums....but sometimes I just can't help it.... Wikipedia: [B] "Pony car is an American class of automobile launched and inspired by the Ford Mustang in 1964. [ 1] The term describes an affordable, compact, highly styled car with a sporty or performance-oriented image."[/B] 1. The Mustang is no longer "compact" by current standards. (or any in my book) 2. "Affordable" is relative, but when compared to ALL cars...the Mustang isn't. Not when many cars can be had new at 60% of the base price...some of them with 200 hp turbo engines and fairly respectable performance for their price. (eg. Fiesta ST) 3. Not sure about your Mustang, but mine has 402 rwhp, plenty of torque, smells like raw fuel, and blows the best smokey burnouts, is LOUD, weighs 3800+, and runs 12.2 @ 116 with minor bolt on's on street tires. 4. I'd like to think that it not only has a performance oriented image...but is a performer. I've owned better handling cars, and faster cars. But in the grand scheme, it's a performance car. Not just an image. 5. "Pony Car" is the most limp wristed thing I've ever heard when referring to an automobile. I wasn't born until 1978, so to me it's a muscle car, that handles decently. NOT a "Pony Car". Now back to your regularly scheduled bickering.... :beer: *EDIT* Also, if a "barely usable back seat" 4 seater car immediately disqualifies something as a sports car, WTF do we call Porsche 911??
